BLACKPINK’s Rosé, the global ambassador for RIMOWA, debuts a series of whimsical looks for Perfect Magazine’s Issue #9, showcasing her ability to fuse high-fashion with a playful spirit.
When a pop superstar collaborates with a luxury travel brand, the result is often a polished, aspirational campaign. However, Rosé’s feature in Perfect Magazine‘s Issue #9, with its creative direction by Katie Grand, is a departure from the predictable. The editorial, which spotlights RIMOWA, has a quirky, lived-in feel, capturing the journey of a globetrotting artist in motion. The images feel intimate, like a peek behind the curtain of a stylish life lived on the road.
In one of the standout looks, Rosé is perched on a striped sofa, surrounded by RIMOWA luggage. She wears a buttery yellow leather or faux-leather corset top that has a structured, almost deconstructed feel with buckle details and an asymmetrical hemline. The piece is layered over a long-sleeved, fuzzy green top, which adds a surprising pop of color and texture to the ensemble. The contrast between the sleekness of the leather and the soft, shaggy texture of the green top creates a dynamic and visually interesting silhouette.
Rosé’s styling is a testament to her creative freedom and a departure from her usual polished glamour. Her hair, a platinum blonde, is styled in a tousled, slightly retro bob that adds a playful edge to the look. The hair and makeup, done by Lee Seonyeong and Jungyo, respectively, give her an edgy, effortlessly chic vibe that contrasts the sophistication of the designer items. Her choice of footwear, a pair of black open-toed heels, provides a simple, grounding element to the otherwise eclectic outfit. The fusion of textures, colors, and cuts in this image shows the depth of her personal celebrity style.
